So an interesting interjection.

So why mention "Brexit" in your previous post?

I'm sure that you are quite able to read the previous comments about racist, extremist elements hijacking the sentiment. The point was the hijacking not Brexit per se. Brexit was never part of the discussion.
As much as certain individuals may wish to divert the focus specifically on to Brexit, that is just a red herring.

Ah I see, so you didn't hijack the thread by casually just throwing the word "Brexit " in? All makes sense now!

Aha! it all becomes clear. Now we have posters becoming offended by the casual use of the term "Brexit".
I don't think the point requires further explanation. You simply reinforced my point "certain individuals may wish to divert the focus specifically on to Brexit". It's still a red herring!

Probably why Love Thy Neighbour has only had one selective repeat in many, many years.

It isn't.

Rubbish, and you know it, you put that in there to stir it up, and btw I am not easily offended, especially when it comes to all things Brexit, but I can see that you are, thanks for being so honest...

I'm not really bothered if it offends you or not. It certainly wasn't put there to stir things up.
The original comment was not about "Brexit", the comment was "A sad reflection of "Brexit" Britain." As you still pretend not to understand the comment, it relates to elements such as certain BNP, EDL etc members who hijacked the sentiment in an attempt to reintroduce their own racist agenda back into the mainstream.
Your herring is still very red!

Re: Talking Pictures in trouble again for broadcasting words offensive to black peopl
Talking Pictures is an 'old movie' channel. And one that l like to watch.
I just wish this PC brigade would get a life. Yes, there are words that are used 'could' be used as racist.
But, please, l have been called names in the past that could be branded as racist. It goes in one ear and out the other.
Isn't strange that people such as the late Mary Whitehouse started all this. And now its all about.
My opinion is that, if you don't like what you are watching on Tv, then turn over. Remember, there are over three hundred channels to watch these days.
If TP, didn't show these films due to the PC brigade. Then they might as well pack up.
All the films and Tv series l watch was Alf Garnett, Love thy Neighbour etc. Its part of life.
Trouble is that there used to be a great Tv show called the Black and White Show many years ago.
This was axed as the stars sang songs with black paint on the face. And people got offended by this.
Didn't two years ago a famous Tv star complain about the nickname for Spurs, and people were getting arrested because of it.
All the case got thrown out of court
Yet the nickname was came from many years ago. And is still being used today
Get a life people

Repetition doesn't make your point any less incorrect.

It wasn't about the PC brigade was it? Merely Ofcom enforcing the Broadcasting Code. However you look at it, the onus is on Talking Pictures to make sure it complies.

Enough - take it to PM.
Any more bickering will invoke the Infraction System.

Re: Talking Pictures in trouble again for broadcasting words offensive to black peopl
It saddens me that an Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman will never ever walk into a bar again.
The Vicar, Rabbi and Priest won't be playing golf together anymore, and I doubt the chicken crossing the road will last much longer.
You have to chuckle at the madness or we'd all go . . . well, you know, *nudge nudge wink wink*
say no more

Your link only goes back to 2005, which is probably when Ofcom was created.
